Baseball’s Supreme Court Shock, Elizabeth Taylor’s Wild Love Life & A Comedy Accident?! 🤯🎬
Have YOU heard about the silent film star who accidentally made the world's first feature-length comedy after getting carried away with too many pratfalls?... but first!
Talk about a sweet surprise! On this day in 1922, the Supreme Court ruled that baseball is NOT interstate commerce but a sport - all because the MLB was being sued over moving games across state lines. I guess you could say they really knocked that case out of the park! THIS FACT COURTESY OF ON THIS DAY DOT COM.
Today we're celebrating National Strawberry Day! While February might seem like an odd time to celebrate these juicy gems, it's actually when California starts their strawberry season. And get this - strawberries aren't even technically berries! They're part of the rose family. Berry interesting, right? THIS FACT COURTESY OF NATIONAL DAY CALENDAR DOT COM.
On this day in 1883, Oscar Hammerstein patented the first cigar-rolling machine. But here's the twist - he's actually the grandfather of the famous Broadway lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II! Talk about a family that really knew how to roll with the times!
Happy Birthday to Elizabeth Taylor, born on this day in 1932! Born with a rare condition that gave her double rows of eyelashes, she's the only person to have been married eight times - twice to the same person! Now that's what I call a romantic plot twist!
And here's that hilarious movie mishap I teased earlier - On this day in 1914, Charlie Chaplin's "Kid Auto Races at Venice" was released, accidentally becoming the world's first feature-length comedy! Chaplin kept improvising more and more scenes, and the director just kept rolling. Sometimes the best things in life really are unplanned!
And on this day in 1982, "Centerfold" by The J. Geils Band was the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100!
